For instance, a certain enior, on the night of cpt.

Of course, having great respect for his slcepin~ ?) fellows in the hall, whom he would not ha\·c di turbcd for anything in the world, he very kindly pulled off his shoes at the foot of th~ stairs and crawled up to his room on all fours. uch an exhibition is sm·cly funny and the editor will find you out, if you indul ge in such thin gs, and you can't help yourself.

\\ hilc the increased number of new students is partly due to the good season, it is also due in part to the fact that the character of culture obtained at I lope is better known and more esteemed. The best proof of the value of instruction and training given here is th e demand for our graduates and even our "boys."

The greed of the world for the culture of II ope has recently caused a change in the J\ ncht r staff. 0. ·. Flancgan, the late and able cditOt·in-chicf is now at Kalamazoo College in the amphibious character of pupil and pedagogue.

Though we rejoice in 1\1 r. Flancgan's success anti, though upon his resignation the lot fell on 0. C.

A J. 111. C. A. HUILDIVG IVEEDEfl.

The large influx of new students which this year swells the ranks of our classes presses to our notice with renewed energy the lamentable fact that Hope College is sorely in need of several new buildings. The pre. ident's new home, although dreadfully slow, is, nevertheThe man who for party forsakes righteous- less, advancing toward completion. \Veil ness goes down, and the armed battalions of founded reports say that ground will soon be God march O \ 'Cr him. hrokcn f r our new librnry building. o far as

it goes, well and good, but it docs not go far enough. A new gymnasium, dormitory, and laboratory arc necessities for which Hope is beginning to feel a pressing need. A more pressing necc. sity than any of these is a building suited for our Y. 1\1. C. A. and society purpose~. llopc College, we arc glad to say, has always been characterized by its large percentag-e of cltristian students. The Y. 1\1. C. A. has gi\·en abundant testimony of this fact.

Last year we felt that our present quarters were t;rowing rather too snug. This year we have entirely outgrown them and arc compelled to look up some borrowed place elsewhere . /\11 will readily sec that we ought, and that soon, to have some suitable rooms to alleviate this pressing need. Such a building need not be elaborate or costly so long as we have within it a neat and cozy apartment to which our non-christian as well as christian students can be invited for a social chat or an hour's de-· votion . \Vc are glad to hear that one prominent friend of Hope has already promised his assistance in this worthy enterprise. Plans will soon be matured when others will be enabled to second his efforts. Remember, friends and student. of II ope, that every dollar you invest for this proposed building is invested directly for the l\1astcr's cause. It will go to prepare a neat and comfortable roon1 for our devotional services. It will increase the facilities for christian work among our students and, with the 1\Ia. ter's blessing, will be the means of leading some wandering soul into the fold of Christ. Therefore, when called upon to supp rt it, help it a long for all you arc worth.

/\ broad smile of happiness and contentment illuminates the face of the farmer as the g-olden grain keeps pouring into his granaries and the silver dollars clank in his pockets. The republican politicians rejoice with him and shout in his car, "\Vc did it.'' Rut the farmers and politician arc not the only ones that are striking capital out of the abundant harvest this year. Next to the farmers no one has greater cause for gratitude and rejoicing than Ilopc College. 1891, "Farmer's Year," will be a red-letter year in the annals of 1-Iope.

The boarding club members smack their lips nnd nudge each other's sides in glad anticipation of plenty of cheap potatoes, peach pre-

serves, pumpkins, bread, pork, beans, and butter-milk pop.

Hope College farm groans under the weight of its productions, thus not only increasing this year's revenue, but also enhancing the value of the land itself. If farmer Kleinhckscl's wind- mill-drained farm were not such a "total failure," our happiness woul'd be without alloy. Probably it is best that our happiness be thus tempered, as an excess of joy might react unfavorably. · ince a large percentage of Hope's hopefuls are products of the farm, this year' s prosperity has undoubtedly much to do with the great increase of students.

Hope College is also largely dependent • upon the munificence of the farming como'lunities for her financial support, since the farmers constitute by far the greatest part of her patrons. In years past the threadbare, but ever effectual complaint, "hard times," has rendered almost fruitless every appeal for aid.

This ) car Hope may look for better success.

It is, therefore, evident that the welfare of I lope College is closely related to the interests anti prosperity of the farmer. Let not "Farm· er's Y car" then pass by unnoticed.

OUR PREFACE. ''AI ways read the preface to a book" is the advice with which the reader frequently meets.

That this advice is both good and practical no one will deny. A preface places us, as it were, upon an eminence from which we obtain a complete surYey of the book, from which we disco\'er the author's plan, aims, and prejudices - in short obtain a birds-eye view of the work before us.

Now, so it is with Hope. he has but just finished the preface to a new year; and as we may often judge a work from its preface, so we may judge our new school year. We may reasonably say that everything indicates success.

A larger number of students is now enrolled than ever before. Then, the first meeting of the Y. 1\1. C. A. was especially characterized by its full attendance, there being at least seventy'five present. Thus, we trust, will be the case with all other meetings and societies. Thus we might go on citing case after case proving our theorem, which we stated before, or, in other words, proving a general success- success for our institution, success in our Y. M. C. 1\., prayer meeting, and all other societies, sue-

for our boarding club, and, finally, success for our Anchor. Truly the sun rise~ brightly over our new school year. May it set in the golden west with all its splendor.

LAROR. \IVerc we to examine closely every object of nature we might read in unmistakable characters the word "labor." It is also written in indelible color on the brow of man . l-Ie is truly a lnboring being. The grandest object of creation, endowed with a mind as powerful as the forces of nature, standing pre-eminent among living beings, he has been surrounded with most wants, whose claims imply the inevitable doo1n nf labor. Labor is closely connected with hi..; whole being, is as necessary as food or clothing and indispensable to true enjoyment. He cannot escape it. It is associated with every step of progress and development in science, religion, commerce, and art. It is the implied condition in nearly every transaction.

Labor is the tool of genius and the ·chool of every true great man, the one road to attainment and position. No man can h onorably advance to high stations in life without traveling with patience the road of labo r and industry. The world expects every man to work and he who docs not must await th e just scorn and indignation of ever) true man and woman.

To labor is therefore h onorab le. \Vo to the man who regards it as a necessary evil to be quickly passed through, for to humanity he appears but as one who vegetates life away.

Aversion to labor is all icd to the conduct of the rebellious angel.

The advantage of student life and the educated man is the opportunity offered of laboring intelligently. He need not exert himself without knowing the resu lt of every act and comparing it with the object in view. Prudence and forethought arc more effective in his hand than in that of another. \ Vhen the hair shows s igns of falling, begin at once to usc Aycr'. Hair Vigor. This preparation strengthens the scalp, promote~ the growth of new hair, restores the natural color to gray and faded h air, and renders it soft, pliant, and g lossy.

It i~ more honor to fail, than t o cease push ing for fear you will fail.

A Farewell Letter Fr·om the ex-Editor-in-Chief.

Dt·nr Rl·ndcrs of tiLe A 11rl1or: Time brin{:!~ many unexpected changes changes that separate friend from friends and compel one to abancJon the sweetest and m ost enjoyable experiences o f life. uch has been my lot. Little did 1 think last June, when enthusiastically preparing the July issue of The Anchor for you, that the October number woultl be issued under the management of another chip fron1 the same block), and l no longer be your \\· illin~ and cheerful servant. But so it is, and now, with the permission of the present ed itor-i n-chief, I take this opportunity of saying a brief farewell to you all. l\'ly connection with The Anchor, especially as editor-in -chief, has been one of the most useful and enjoyable experiences of my life.

The work required was in perfect harmony with my tastes and aspir~tions ; and it was my highest ambition to push The Anchor to the front ranks of college journalism, to make it the true exponent of the intcrc~ts of I lope CoJJ cgc.

a brotherly bond between faculty, students, and alumni, the tool of no clique, and to furnish its readers with th e freshest and best from student and alumnus. This I believe to be the only proper and legitimate sphere of the college journal. In no other way can a col lege paper hope to .succeed , for its prosperity and growth depend largely on the cheerful and willing- s upport ot all the patrons of the institution. J\:othing will give me more pleasure than to know that this principle is carefully followed by all future editors o f The Anchor. i\1y associates on the staff were men from the very best in college. All had an interest in the success of their college orga n, and each performed chccrfull) and well his allotted duty.

To eac h I am indebted for valuable aid.

Contributions were never wanting. ~ tudents and alumni, though not in the habit of furnishin g freewill offerings of copy , were willing and prompt to respond when solicited.

I remember with especial gratitllcie The /\nchor's jo\·ial and faithful ~ outh Dakota correspondent, and likewise the student who kindly furni shed the "r\cadcrny Items."

1\nd now, dear readers, thankful for the many kind words of encouragement and praise rccci\·cd from many o( you, I bid you all a rcg retfu I fare wei I, assuring you that, though no longer directly connected with The .1\nchor, I am still one of its bt..;St friends and hearty supporters.

Yours truly, ( . S. FLA1':EG.\l' .

The war-cry rai~cd by the enemies of pl·ohibitinn is C\'Cr, "Prohibition docs not pro hibit."

This is undoubtedly true in many cases; but whose fault is it that it doc~ not prohibit? . ·urely, it is the fault of the law-makcrJ, who, by inaction, becomes a law-breaker.

Proltibition docs proiLibit, on the other hand, where men arc not satisfied to live in the ·•City of Carnal Polic) ;·· where principle is d e arer than money and the des ire to be praised by all men; and where the voter for such a measure is ready to defend it with life and limb . The cause of truth and libe rty has always, in the history of man, called for n1artyrs, and Prohibition has its Haddocks. · l·' rom personal experience, I can also pro\·c I

that, in I owa, the prohibitory laws are not a dead letter. Certainly, the drink-devil is a many-headed hydra, and whoever undertakes to fight him, had better first count the costs.

Orange City, Iowa, has not a single saloon today, while four months ago it had as many as four. As much can be said of scores of cities of this size in this tate. Des Moines, the capital, proves that even a large city can be free from the rum traffic. On the other hand, Dubuque and other river towns arc the sore spots.

Hut the river towns have a bad reputation, generally. l\!ayor Palmer, of ioux City, has sold his conscience for a few dollars. He allows saloons to exist in that city on condition of their paying a monthly fine into the city treasury of fifty dollars each. And this is in the city where Rev. Haddock was murdered in cold blood for espousing the temperance cause.

You sec tt is true that the liquor laws are openly violated in Iowa. But is this true for the tate as a whole? Let me tell you that to-day, in over half its counties, the liquor laws arc strictly enforced, and no liquor is unlawfully sold. And with what results? In about half that number of counties the jails are te~antless, except it be that they contain former rum-sellers. Further, such is the state of affairs here, under prohibition, that the contractors in our State's prison at Anamosa have found it necessary to ship in prisoners from the overloaded prisons of high-license Illinois. \Vhat higher recommendation docs 1\Iichigan, or any other high-license tate, desire of the prohibitory laws? The fact is, that, where these laws arc enforced, there is no more room for the Yagrant. The surroundings will l>ecome so uncomfortable, that the saloon-keeper, also, is compelled either to reform and undertake so1ne honest pursuit, or leave the tate. As I write, a man with a spade on his shoulder attracts my attention as he passes by. \IVc know each other well by this time. He was a bartender only s hortly ago; but a short term of incarceration has brought him to his senses, and he is now a reformed man, desirous to make his living by honest means.

No; the days are over for Iowa, when " tormy Jordan" can hang out the sign over his saloon, "The way to Hell." Instead of this, h e now deals out his "forty-rod" whiskey through a "hole-in-the-wall." Of the latter contrivance there recently were no less than forty in the fore-named wicked ioux City, I am told by a

Th e Igth century is dring-. Its character is already stamp d, its history made. The fc\\' years which yet remain cannot alter it. It has been a "i.OolldL·r.fu/ century. Looking backward one sees in. titutcd reform upon reform in an unending series, until it seems as if all previous centuries ha\·c been but so many ages of idleness and inacti,·ity, and that the present nlo11c has teemed with life and progress. And now this too is passing- into history; and we stand looking- out upon a new ccnturv with opening- vistas \\'hich e nd- we know not~where.

The future is hidden, but only its realities, not its probabilities, lie beyond the pale of human knowledg-e. Like Patrick I rcnry, all mankind have a lamp b) which their feet arc guided.

It i-; the lamp of experience. "\Vatchman, what of the morning,'' is not an empty query.

Another hundred years of civilization, another hundred years nf ,·i cto1·ics and defeats, of successes and fai lurcs,are but the s hado\\'s of things to come. During the more recent past, questions of grave importance have been discussed, reforms of vital interest inau('J'uratcd and the youth of to-day go forth to meet problems far greater, perhaps, than those \\'hich enlisted the courage and patriotism of ou r fore-fathers.

They would ha\"e her, "something better than their dog, a little dearer than their horse," it is true, but still far, far.·their inferior. Others, and these are mostly women, carry things into an opposite extreme, considering their own sex as far superior in all things,they \viii blame, if not directly, at least impliedly, the Creator for so culpable a crime as ever to have made man. Fanatics never yet advanced, but have always retarded reform; and such women are like so many cans of dynamite, perfectly safe as long as left alone, but once slightly deranged they are apt to explode; and what was order before is thrown into disorder and ruin. uch is woman's conditi'on today. There is scarcely a privilege she ha.'i not been granted, nor an occupation she has not tried. In n1any instances she has been preferred before men, and yet, owing to her heedless and impetuous nature, she has accomplished successfully very little. l\Iany years must yet pass, many battles still be fought, while there are victories to be won, and defeats to he suffered before woman shall occupy that position which God, in his infinite, yet perfect design, intended her to fill. It is not the dashing n1ountain ton-ent alone, leaping from rock to rock, but the quiet peaceful river as well which wears away the stones and rounds the pebbles. Loud clamors for reform, violent changes, or governme nt decrees cannot change woman's condition,- t/znt can only be done through that quiet and ennobling influence of U11i1.:crsal Educntio11.

Viewing the progress of civilization we find that one of the grand things which the Germananic tribes contributed to the development of mankind was the family institution. Perhaps among those old barbarians none knew so well the value of mothers and women as did the Germans; and, though a warlike and savage people, they did more for the good of mankind than all the polish and glitter of 1Vor111nu clli'L•nlr.J'. In 476, when the \Vestcrn Roman Empire was rent asunder, and a deep sleep fell over Europe. when all intellectual life died, and law and order gave way b~fore vas t hordes of roving savages, then it seemed as if Grecian glory or Roman grandeur would never again be equaled. Yet, anchored to this family institution as her last hope, civilization, like a Phoenix, arose from chaos into order, from darkness into the broad light of day. And yet in this advanced age there is a tendency to undermine the family, the life of the nation, the

The boarding club was compelled to pull up its tent stakes and stretch its canvas to make room for the forty-two hungry ones that seek satisfaction there.

Friday of Fair week was vacation to give the boys. and for that matter, the girls t , a c han ce to see beautiful horseflesh and learn 1 Lt: j t;~gler's trade.

Pan itions have been torn down and walls painted and papered in the Oggel house to make more pleasant and commodious quarters for the theologians.

The new library building is on paper. The plans and specifications are finished. It is an imposing forty thousand dollar structure. o soon as the minor matters of money and material are settled work on it will begin.

Ulfilas shows remarkable vitality for his age.

Often has he been doomed to death. but it reopens this year with twenty eight members on its roll and Herman Van der Ploeg in the chair. No sign of decay that. . Hope has never before in its history opened 1ts doors to so many students as this year.

The number runs into the hundred and seventies, of whon1 the .. Cs" receive a larger numb~r th~n any other class. The Freshm'en open wtth e1ghteen of which half hail from the N. W. C. A. The Sophomore's boast the modest numeral eight.

Most of the cniors arc trying to ascertain what effect eniority has upon their avoirdu pois. We do not know all of the particulars of the process by which they are collecting statistics of their gain or loss in flesh but we know that instead of being weighed they have their measurements taken. These measurements are taken every aturday evening between the hours of six and twcl vc. No two of them. ~xcept G. and G., go to the same place f,r th 'lr measurements. What the results arc \\ c df, not know ex·cept in one case. We heard one of the boys say, "I am getting fat.'' and we suppo!"c thcr ttll arc.

The faculty daily greet the students with a smile and a record book .

We regret that our readers ha\·c had to wait so long for their Anchor but thint;s. seemingly unavoidable, ha,·e prevented o ur getting it out on time. \ Ve shall try to be more punctual next time and trust that we may be pardoned for the present tardiness.

The Y. 1\1. C. A. was represented at the ~' tate Cpnvention at Owosso by a delegation of ten.

They report having ,·is ited a pleasant town with pleasant people, having hcat-cl encouraging reports from various associations, and hav . ing attended an interesting and profitable convention.

Prodigious amounts of grapes, peaches, and apples were devoured by the students this year. Peach stones, apple cores, and grape seeds form a striking and highly artistic adornment of the campus. Bright bu . iness men will do well to consider Hope henceforth an important factor in the n1arket.

The cniors arc just learning how to breathe.

Rev. Bergen is the instructor. ome of the boys but recently learned that they have lungs. That newly acquired information and a lesson or two in Hebrew has enabled them to produce some of the most uncttrthly noises heard in this country since the lndian and wi ld cat were driven out.
